INNER DRIVERS

Everyone wants something, and everyone is capable of doing amazing things. Still, we often do not live up to our potential, and thus, we operate and remain far below our potential possibilities.

 

The MotivStrukturAnalyse MSA® (MSA) is a scientifically based personality analysis that shows the individual characteristics of the 18 basic motives. Using these 18 basic motives, the MSA can record and visualise our inner drivers. The MSA reveals and unlocks your potential and helps you understand what drives others. 

 

The motives are our inner drivers, and they have a significant influence on our perception, our thinking and feeling, our communication, our projections and our behaviour. With the MSA, we know what is important to us and under which conditions we can succeed and be content.

The MSA maps the emotional core of a person's character and clarifies what moves people and sets them in motion. The MSA maps your:

By mapping the motivational values and drives of people, the intrinsic drive and motivational potential of a human being, we can clarify why we act the way we do and what brings us joy.

It’s all about you. 

 

Unlike most behavioural or personality tests, the MSA collects previously isolated systems for (ground) motifs in an overall system and so is able to identify the intrinsic driving force behind us.  It is the only tool that maps the most complete motivational, values, ​and drive structure of people. 

 

Whether you are at a crossroads, seeking self-awareness, or merely curious about life and how to live it well, the MSA can help you answer the pertinent questions–

 

  • What makes you happy?

  • What gives you energy?

  • How can you lead a meaningful life?

  • How can you create a tangible work-life balance? 

  • What matters to you, personally and professionally? 

  • How can you motivate others? 

  • How can you inspire others? 

 

If you know your own motive structure, you are able to use this knowledge to facilitate decision-making in your private and professional life.

THE MSA PROMISE 

You will receive actionable information on the things in your life that motivate you and bring you happiness. We will help you progress your personal and professional life so you can make decisions that energise you and improve your well-being.

+ What is the MSA®?

 

Motive Structure Analysis MSA® is not a performance test to pass.

 

MotiveStructureAnalysis MSA® is neutral: therefore, there is no such thing as a good or a bad profile, and certainly not a right or wrong one. 

Every MotiveStructureAnalysis MSA® is always constructive because it is individual and shows the unique personal drives and motives of one person, I.e. all MSA®-Profiles are individually different - but psychologically completely equivalent.

It is not a clinical personality instrument ("Psycho test"), but a resource-oriented method, which was developed in Germany and integrates modern and historical personality and motivation research; based on works by renowned psychologists such as Gordon Allport, Paul Costa & Robert McCrae, Antonio Damasio, Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, Dan McAdams, William McDougall, Henry Murray or Steven Reiss.

 

+ What can MSA®  be used for?

 

There are many uses of the MSA®,  we would start with the individual and their personality. Even as a leader, it is important you understand your motivations before effectively motivating others. 

 

If you are energised and engaged, you take control of decisions, take control of your own life, and feel less helpless, less stressed, and less depressed. This, in turn, has a large impact on your environment - self-actualisation leads to team actualisation

 

Additional uses to the ones previously mentioned on the “MSA” page include:

 

Individual

Individual coaching

Personality development

Work-life balance

Personnel selection

+ How is the coaching conducted?

All other sessions are conducted online via Zoom.

 

Online sessions with video have been conducted in the past and are supremely effective, as clients can conduct the session from the privacy of their own homes or office and feel safe and secure. 

 

+ What is the value of MSA® vs. other tests, e.g. MBTI, EQi?

 

Unlike MBTI and EQi, amongst other tests, which tell you “who you are”, the MSA tells you what motivates you and how you are energized, which are actionable learnings. 

 

MSA has real-life application, tangible applicable criteria that will allow you can structure your life around and will make you…well, simply put…happy.
